Hello, Break (ā Ā ā āā āæā āā Ā ā )š¤
I hope you're doing well and work on the DBU chapter is going great too (don't worry about any waiting, just enjoy the process!)
So, I wanted to ask you about Cadets AruAni: you've shared the other day a wholesome headcanon post, which is adorably sweet, so I wanted to ask if you have some more headcanons in mind about these two silly lemonheads in love? :3
AAAAAAAAAH!!! HI HI ANNA!!! I hope you are well too, love!! <3
Thank you so much for this WONDERFUL ask!! And about DBU, do not worry, I will not rush it! I will enjoy the process as always :3
As for this ask, OH do I have more to share!! Cadet AruAni has my entire heart so⦠let's go for ROUND 2 AAAAA!!! ANGST WARNING BTW!!! This takes place during the training days, as did my last headcanon post!
Annie sometimes struggled with certain questions in the classroom but played it off well⦠that is until after class, where she would yank Armin by his shirt as he passed by behind a building and then asked him to help. She failed at not blushing every time. His face was always too cute...
Some nights, while on a walk, Annie would hear strikes and grunts by the training dummies⦠and as always, it was Armin. The boy would sneak out after dark to try and practice more... She usually watched for a bit before walking away, but one night⦠Armin fell⦠and she could hear crying. Concerned, Annie rushed by the boy's side, kneeling down to ask him if he was okay.
A whimpering Armin would sit up and turn his face away, filled with shame, weakly apologizing and making an attempt to stand up and leave. Annie denied him. Grabbing his wrist, she asked again if he was okay⦠and there Armin revealed his insecurities about being a "weakling" and "useless".
Annie of course denied that too. And Armin smiled.
Annie tried to give Armin secret training some nights but realized that while he isn't 'weak' in the traditional sense- he's just SUCH a clumsy boy. She found that cute and very endearing somehow, that a brilliant boy in the classroom is a complete klutz beyond that. "Try again, klutz." She would say with a smirk, enjoying how Armin blushed⦠thinking him of being merely bashful.
⦠He would blush for a different reason, as his heartbeat fastā¦
Sometimes, Annie would have more dreams of finding Armin in her Female Titan form which were cute fantasies⦠holding his tiny body in her hand, petting his little head with her huge finger and ruffling his warm, soft hair⦠Even having him rest atop her own head, enjoying her hair like a comforting bed.
⦠Then there were the nightmares. Which typically ended with Armin screaming, begging her to not eat him⦠feeling his entire body slip down her throat as she-
Annie's crying woke her up every time.
During dinner in the barracks, Armin at first often ate with only Eren and Mikasa⦠but after he became more comfortable with Annie, he noticed how she typically ate alone. Feeling sad, Armin decided one day to sit next to her, which gave many of the other cadets pause, fearing that Annie would shove the petite boy aside like she did to nearly everyone else⦠but all were surprised when Annie and Armin engaged in conversation. They discussed class, combat, strategy, and on a night of the full moon... Armin told Annie the joys and mystery of 'the sea'.
Uknown to him, such joyous discussions hurt Annie... as she dreaded the time where they would end, perhaps by her own hand.
Armin learned that Annie LOVES sweets before anyone else by picking berries with her. She seemed uninterested at first, never having tried berries before⦠a chance not presenting itself in Marley.
Armin picked a blueberry and ate it, humming from the sweet flavor⦠naturally Annie got curious, and picked one for herself. Then another⦠then three⦠then ten and-
"⦠Annie, you like sweet foods, huh?" Armin asks with a sly smile.
Annie smushed a berry on Armin's cheek to silence him, getting the boy to giggle.
During one of many combat training sessions, Armin was put up against Annie⦠again. So, to make it look convincing for everyone else, Annie would 'throw' Armin down to the ground (but softened his fall with one of her arms) and held the wooden knife to his throat⦠then they would talk about class or casual chat.
Shadis eventually found out and prevented them from doing combat training in the future x3
Annie noticed that one morning, when it was Armin's turn to prep food⦠that he was REALLY good at it. Not wanting to listen to more of Reiner's rambling about the impending future, Annie enjoyed helping Armin peel potato's⦠pretending to be a soldier a while longer.
They ended up making a full batch of steamed potato's that day, having a few for themselves too...
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I think that's it for now!! AH IT'S SO FUN TO TALK ABOUT THESE SILLIES!!! My cuties T_T
Anna, thank you SO MUCH for this wonderful and fun ask!! It really brightened my day and made me feel great to do <3 I hope you enjoy all of these too!! I love talking about my headcanons for these two lovies x3
